Psalms 108
1 A song. A psalm of David. God, I have complete confidence in you! My whole being sings praises to you!
O god, my heart is fixed; I will sing and give praise, even with my glory.
2 Wake up, harp and lyre! I will wake up the dawn!
Awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake early.
3 I will thank you among the peoples, Lord, I will sing your praises among the nations.
I will praise you, O LORD, among the people: and I will sing praises to you among the nations.
4 For your trustworthy love reaches higher than the heavens, your faithfulness is higher than the clouds.
For your mercy is great above the heavens: and your truth reaches to the clouds.
5 God, your greatness is above the highest heavens; and your glory is over all the earth!
Be you exalted, O God, above the heavens: and your glory above all the earth;
6 Rescue those you love! Answer us, and save us by your power!
That your beloved may be delivered: save with your right hand, and answer me.
7 God has spoken from his Temple: “Triumphantly I divide up Shechem, and portion out the Valley of Succoth.
God has spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.
8 Both Gilead and Manasseh belong to me. Ephraim is my helmet, and Judah is my scepter.
Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the strength of my head; Judah is my lawgiver;
9 I will treat Moab as my washbasin; I will place my sandal on Edom; I will shout in triumph over Philistia.”
Moab is my wash pot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe; over Philistia will I triumph.
10 Who will bring me into the fortified city? Who will lead me into Edom?
Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me into Edom?
11 Have you rejected us, God? Won't you go out with our armies?
Will not you, O God, who have cast us off? and will not you, O God, go forth with our hosts?
12 Please give us help against our enemies, for human help is worthless.
Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man.
13 Our strength is in God, and he will crush our enemies.
Through God we shall do valiantly: for he it is that shall tread down our enemies.
